The spectacular clifftop course at Whitby – which is now more than 130 years old – is a delight to play with its commanding position on the edge of the cliffs and views around the North Yorkshire coast to Kettleness and across to Whitby harbour and pier with the Abbey ruins dominating behind.
Not too long, nor too difficult unless the wind blows, the layout punishes wild shots with thick rough, while bunkering and run-off areas will catch out players who are not used to firm and fast conditions.
